Religion is a mental illness.

The more one talks about it, the more mentally ill they are.

The reality is that the U.S. is no better than Russia.

Same.

But Mervyn’s for me.

I like it when you ask for proof and they open their arms and gesture broadly at everything.

To be fair, I wish I was a simpleton. I think life is more fun that way.

Nah dawg. I called out .ml and .ml doesn’t like that. Again, only place on Lemmy I’ve experienced censorship. It’s kind of like the /r/conservative of Lemmy. If your comment doesn’t fit the narrative, it’s censored.

That’s why .ml has the reputation it has. Have fun.

Yup.

I think a lot of the denial of what’s happening is due to Americans generally living easy lives. I say that knowing there’s a lot of struggle out there. But Americans have not experienced living in a nation that collapses into authoritarianism. They don’t know what bad actually is. Their political decisions have never truly cost them.

“It couldn’t happen here.”

Said every person who lived somewhere it ended up happening.

Our society, in general, is just not good at critical thinking, and critical thinking is integral to maintaining a democracy.

“bOtH tEh SaMe”

Man, I fucking HATE centrists. Your brain is fundamentally broken if you’re a centrist in this climate.

Sorry. I can’t speak to you because .ml censors users. The only place on Lemmy that I’ve experienced censorship. Have fun with that.

Pray that you’re not making stupid social media posts while my life is in your hands?

Current results looking good to you?

Let’s start with an IQ test before voting.

Hope you’re all ready. This ship is not going to correct course when the orange traitor dies.

Our problems go WAY deeper than that.

The author of New York Times best seller “Live Dumb, Die Young”.

He’s turned over a hole new leaf.

Yeah, but he also looks like a centenarian’s vagina.

He belongs in a woodchipper.

I liked the sundowning president that passed meaningful legislation, didn’t consider half of Americans to be America’s enemies, had no felonies, and didn’t fuck kids.

But yeah, we need younger presidents.

All I see is a felon rapist insurrectionist pedophile on his last leg.

Hope it hurts.

Not by voting.

Lol.

Can you provide examples of countries with viable left leaning parties that didn’t get there by voting?

You think working class organization is successful without voting in candidates that champion their cause?
